I just love this format, I can't stop brewing. Anyways, my next concoction is, as the title suggests... goblins. The only problem is that there are so many goblins to choose from. I'll state up front that there is an obvious omission in my list. Goblin Guide is on my wish list (with a few other cards), but the more I get into the format I'll eventually find room in my budget for some of the pricier staples. Cavern of Souls comes to mind.
One concern I have for the deck is that it fells a little top heavy at the 3-drop slot but that's where all of the lords are. I'm weighing the possibility of dropping the Goblin General for Goblin Sharpshooter.
As always, all comments and suggestions are appreciated. Thanks in advance!
I've had to retool my deck a little. I had some bad news, it turned out that I didn't have a copy of Goblin Piledriver in my collection as I first thought, so he's joining Goblin Guide on my wishlist. In the meantime, I'm investing a little more heavily in black. Dralnu's Crusade, Cover of Darkness, Oversold Cemetery , not to mention Edict and Smother all seem like good additions to the deck. I also want to find room for Basilisk Collar, since it would look lovely attached to the Sharpshooter but Gorgon's Head will do until I can pick up a collar.
Outcryqq - I'm thinking that Bloodmoon probably has a place in the board, to come in only if it hurts my opponent more than me. Otherwise, I took most of your suggestions

I don't always play Jank, but when I do, I play Saffronolive.
Have you given any thought to either Taurean Mauler or Shared Animosity? I know you said you felt a little heavy on the three drops, but the Mauler can grow quite large if unanswered and Animosity can close games quick, especially if you already have Cover of Darkness in play.
MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
